Goldilocks: The Great Tyrant?

Cycling home through a thunderstorm is not an experience I'd ever particularly like to repeat. The places that water can find to pool inside one's clothing is most instructive, if uncomfortable.

Little things that make me happy: this easy-read government document about the Equality Bill illustrating the concept of "you are a man or a woman" with exactly the same graphic as "you are transsexual".

Big things that make me happy: my Evil-Villainess corset, which just arrived. No breasts in the workplace!

(Apologies for rubbish photo-quality; it's surprisingly hard to hold a riding crop and a MacBook!)

Now, I'm sure that many of you want to come and see my show - well, you can! There will be a preview in Cambridge on 22 August, and then the show itself is in Edinburgh from 24-31 August. Buy tickets here!.

Anyone in need of cheap and OULES-filled transport to Edinburgh, there's a coach going up from Cambridge on 23 August with space for people and props - let me know you're interested and I'll pass on details.

OMG. That is the most epic cleavage the world has ever seen. You are going to rock! :D

This comment gives me the feeling that Merlin has just complimented my cleavage. This is a wonderful yet disturbing feeling.

God, Merlin complimenting my cleavage (considering he sees Morgana's every day!) would be... *giggles*

But yes - he's too young! That icon is actually of my RPG character, Carty - a 14 year old soldier in the 95th Rifles. That is actually more disturbing... XD

I think I just spontaneously combusted. Wow.

As my American Double, any compliment you make to me is completely reflexive. Congratulations on being combustably hot!

*raises a champagne glass* To sexy transatlantic doppelgangers!

...words fail me.

OMNOM.

Wow. You look stunning!

Thank you! Once I've got a whole outfit and make-up, I might even look nearly as good as you...

I'm scared.

The effect is spectacular, certainly, but isn't that corset incredibly uncomfortable?

...

i think you may be missing the point somewhat, hun...

Actually, it's significantly more comfortable that any other corset I've ever worn.. for the first time, I've been able to afford a custom-made overbust (well, a second-hand corset custom-made to someone else, but with measurements similar enough to mine that the effect is the same), which means that I don't have to wear a bra. The liberation from the tyranny of strap and wire is such that the inability to bend at the waist is minor by comparison.

You are both the Nile and the Tower of Pisa, m'dear. And an entire range of facial expressions on the faces of the figures in a selection of iconic Renaissance portraits, as well.

Personally I think she's constructed from three four-line stanzas and a final couplet composed in iambic pentameter with the rhyme scheme abab cdcd efef gg.

You mean like Trial of a Time Lord?

There's a rhyming scheme to Trial of a Time Lord?

I less than three you.

Babes...you are so gorgeous, I'm trying to hide glazed expression of lust from my office collegues in case they come over and ask me what i'm looking at. You are going to rock as goldilocks.

Bloody hell, you look incredible! That is quality villainessing there. Makes me regret not having a Servalan icon.
